shamshuipo.jpglankwaifong.jpgpacificplace.jpghknightview.jpgHong Kong is about walk­ing and talk­ing and doing 100’s of things at the same time. About 50% of the cen­ters of Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Penin­sula (the “city” areas of Hong Kong) are pure mad­ness the other 50% are west­ern style, very upscale shop­ping malls. As a vis­i­tor both are equally inter­est­ing, as they rep­re­sent two very dif­fer­ent but equally impor­tant sides of Hong Kong. Here are some images from Sham Shu Po (Kowloon, one of the ear­li­est devel­oped dis­tricts and now con­sid­ered by the gov­ern­ment as a cen­ter of urban decay in need of “renewal” although we loved it there and could go again and again), Lan Kwai Fong (Hong Kong Island, ex-pat area, becom­ing pri­mar­ily touris­tic but still has some inter­est­ing build­ings and aspects ) Pacific Place Mall (in the cen­ter of Hong Kong Island, good for a bath­room pit-stop at least, not good to go to more than once ) and for good mea­sure the view of Hong Kong Island at night from Kowloon, a great brain rinser at the end of the day, along with a late night ride on the Star Ferry. Sorry the images are out of order, hope to change that but for now please read the labels!
